Job description

NVIDIA is seeking a senior engineer to enhance GPU system software and improve the software development process. The role involves working on firmware, real-time operating systems, and driver interfaces, as well as the infrastructure that supports them. The engineer will be responsible for carrying new approaches from design through implementation and support. This position offers the opportunity to work in a diverse and innovative environment focused on AI and advanced computing.

Requirements

  • Proven experience in system software, embedded software, or a related field.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of meaningful experience.
  • Experience writing software in C and scripting to build, test, or run that software.
  • Background with embedded software, a real-time operating system, and device drivers.
  • Experience delivering software from design through release and support.

Responsibilities

  • Improve the product and the process used to build, test, and run it.
  • Design and implement firmware and real-time operating system changes.
  • Develop the driver interface that connects firmware with the rest of the system.
  • Utilize current development tools to generate and check code.
  • Collaborate with hardware and software partners to resolve issues.

Benefits

  • Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
